Just seen for the first time in about twenty years a car with a metal coat hanger as the aerial on the front wing.Brought a smile to my face as I remember the amount of times that I needed to do that myself. Then the world changed forever when the black rubber aerials came on the scene.
A telphone box with the slots for the cash that you had to deposit when someone answered, and reverse charge calls, I used to regularly phone home using this method, which used to infuriate my tight wad step dad.
Big Dave and the Boys on the radio every Sat morning, great fun but not good on the waistline (local cafe did a full english that was stunning).
Went to a cash machine the other day, stood behind the person using it and waited. "Oi, mate, there's a f**king cue 'ere" shouted some bloke stood by himself literally halfway down the road next to a bus stop. Happens all the time these days.
Corner flags on each end of the half way line....
Proper handshakes to congratulate the goalscorer....
Sock ties with players number on them....
Stray dogs running onto pitches during a match....
Horses pulling coaches through the street, gentlemen with top hats, children with a pigs bladder on a stick, public hanging of bread thieves....well, except in Bermondsey, obviously...

That used to be known as the Chicken Run.
Used to be another similar bit of terracing on the other side of the Grandstand.
I saw my first Millwall match from there in January 1968.
Crowd about 30,000. Alan Campbell scored a brilliant winner, 1-0.
The grassy slope and space in the SW corner behind the terracing, with a single goalmouth.
